    What difference does that make? If I pay my landlord $30 today, that money is back in my account “tomorrow.” Plus, it’s not like you can get an eviction through, all paperwork is blank at the end of the night, so only the things that people can remember are maintained.

      Yeah but money is already fake and we already live in a post-scarcity society. The people at the top of social hierarchies aren’t just going to let the world go to temporal communism. Why would someone who lives on the street play nice if they can murder a guy with a mansion and try again the next day if they lose?

      They’ll figure something out. Accountants will become teams of oral history keepers. Cops will torture and murder you for jaywalking.

        But they can’t stop you from waking up there and they’re not going to spend every morning rounding the same people up. Even if they did, go ahead, throw all my shit on the sidewalk, I’ll still wake up there tomorrow. It would be interesting to see how they react to it, because there’s no meaningful way for them to control people (that I can think of, but they’re pretty creative when they need to be)
